Sartre was the enemy not just because of his position on Communism, but because he preached a doctrine (or anti-doctrine) of individualism which rubbed against the federalist ‘family of man’ society which America, through organizations like the Congress for Cultural Freedom, was promoting. (The Soviet Union, by the way, found Sartre equally uncongenial, branding existentialism ‘a nauseating and putrid concoction’.)

Sartre had refused to attend the festival, commenting drily that he was ‘not as antiCommunist as all that’. Had he been there, he may well have felt, like his hero in Nausea, that he was ‘alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these characters spend their time explaining themselves, and happily recognizing that they hold the same opinions.’ In her roman a clef.

‘Always the same faces, the same surroundings, the same conversations, the same problems. The more it changes, the more it repeats itself. In the end, you feel as if you’re dying alive.’

The people who listened to them were the target
The idea of creating a cultural-political magazine in the tradition of the great French reviews was first discussed in February 1951 at the Executive Committee meeting in Versailles. What was needed was a journal which could compete with Les Temps modernes and encourage defections from Sartre’s stronghold. ‘Who was the real antagonist?’ one historian later asked. ‘It wasn’t the Soviet Union or Moscow. What they were really obsessed with was Sartre and de Beauvoir. That was “the other side”.' ‘The Left Bank intellectuals were the target,’ a Congress insider confirmed. ‘Or, perhaps, the people who listened to them were the target.' But finding an editor who enjoyed enough stature to lure these compagnons de route into a more centrist arrondissement proved to be difficult.

The Congress was being secretly funded by the CIA
John Dewey, who had headed the Committee for the Defense of Leon Trotsky, represented pragmatic American liberalism. Karl Jaspers, the German existentialist, had been an unrelenting critic of the Third Reich. A Christian, he had once publicly challenged Jean-Paul Sartre to state whether or not he accepted the Ten Commandments. Jacques Maritain, a liberal Catholic humanist, was a French resistance hero. He was also a close friend of Nicolas Nabokov. Isaiah Berlin was approached to join this rosary of philosopher-patrons, but refused on the grounds that such public support for an anti-Communist movement would place his relatives in the East in danger. He did, however, promise to support the Congress in any modest way he could. It was Lawrence de Neufville’s recollection that Berlin did so in the knowledge that the Congress was being secretly funded by the CIA. ‘He knew about our involvement,’ said de Neufville. ‘I don’t know who told him, but I imagine it was one of his friends in Washington.’

Burnham and Hook both turned their fire on those who used moral equivalence to question America’s condemnation of the Soviet Union: ‘Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, who refused to attend the Congress even to defend their point of view there, were quite aware of French and American injustices to Negroes when they supported the Resistance to Hitler,’ clamoured Hook. ‘But they can see no justice in the western defense against Communist aggression because the Negroes have not yet won equality of treatment.’ This equality was not far off, according to George Schuyler, who circulated a report to delegates, complete with statistics, demonstrating that the situation of blacks in America never stopped improving, and this was thanks to the capitalist system’s constant ability to adapt to change. The black journalist Max Yergan endorsed Schuyler’s report with a history lesson in the advancement of African-Americans since the Roosevelt era.
